Youtube live stream keeps buffering time to time

Description of the issue: Youtube live keeps buffering from time to time, I don’t sure if it is because of Brave’s ad-blocker or not (I don’t think so since my mobile phone using Youtube app and also has this issue). I don’t know how to fix it, my side internet speed and so on are fine so far and it is already fast enough. But it will stop playing like 7-8 seconds then live continue, and it keeps coming up more frequent.

Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): Nothing, just play Youtube live stream and it will eventually buffering.

Expected result: Stop the buffering, the streamer side is already fine and my side is also fine. 1-2 seconds delay is fine but not keep buffering and goes to 8-10 seconds delay.

Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu): Brave Release Notes **v1.86.148

Additional info: Twitch does not have this issue.**

Just to clarify, you’re saying that viewing YT live streams on your phone is where you see this issue or are you seeing this on the desktop browser?

If you’re using Brave on your phone and the Youtube app on that same phone is also frequently buffering then the issue is not likely specific to Brave.

Hey thanks, I did get both in the YT apps in mobile phone, but in Youtube desktop (opened in Brave browser) it seems to buffer a lot frequently even my connection signal is stronger than mobile phone. So, it may be yes, but I do not sure if it is also have the problem.
